A thermal power plant operates on a regenerative cycle with a single open feed water heater, as shown in the figure. For the state points shown, the specific enthalpies are h1=2800 kJ/kg and h2=200 kJ/kg. The bleed to the feed-water heater is 20% of the boiler steam generation rate. The specific ent

Which among the following is the boiler mounting? A. Blow off cock B. Feed pump C. Economiser D. Superheater

Consider a steam power plant using a reheat cycle as shown. Steam leaves the boiler and enters the turbine at 4 MPa,350 C (h3=3095 kJ/kg). After expansion in the turbine to 400 kPa (h4=2609 kJ/kg), the steam is reheated to 350 C (h5=3170 kJ/kg) and then expanded in a low-pressure turbine to 10 kPa (

The efficiency of superheat Rankine cycle is higher than that of the simple Rankine cycle because A. the enthalpy of main steam is higher for superheat cycle B. the mean temperature of heat addition is higher for superheat cycle C. the temperature of steam in the condenser is high D. the quality of
